Dear Challenger Parents & Buddies:

It
is my privilege and honor to announce that Illinois District 13 has been
selected to participate in the 2013 Challenger Exhibition Game at the Little
League World Series! The 2013 Challenger Game will be played on August
24, 2013 at Volunteer Stadium in Williamsport,
Pennsylvania. There will be three games played that day - the
International Championship game, the US Championship game and OUR Challenger
Exhibition game. Illinois District 13 will be playing a team from
District 57 Little League in Livermore,
California. The first hour of the exhibition game will be broadcast
live on ESPN3. Last year, the game was announced by NomarGarciaparra.

Our
district currently has three active challenger programs (Bartlett, Tri-Cities and Woodstock) with 165 players and hundreds of
buddies. Over the next several weeks, we will be soliciting interest from
parents on players and buddies who want to represent District 13 for this
special event. We have the ability to send up to 15 players and 15 buddies
across the district.

Upon
selection, the District will work on several activities for the team. We plan
to have a lot of fun with this and promoting the team across our
area. If you are interested in participating as a player or buddy,
please contact Paul Williams - Bartlett (bllchallengers@ymail.com), He will take your information so we know who is interested in participating.

Williamsport is where every Little Leaguer and coach dreams of playing. It is
truly an opportunity of a lifetime. We are truly honored to
be selected to play. After all, it is not everyday your son or
daughter gets to play on the world’s stage broadcast live on ESPN.
And I have to say, our players and buddies have earned it!
